Cape Verde, Africa – The plot narrates a love story that ends in tragedy but gets a chance to be rewritten 150 years later. One of the main highlights of the international catalog released by Globo at the 2017 NATPE, ‘Time After Time’ has just been released in Cape Verde, airing at the 9 PM Primetime slot of the public network RTC. With a narrative that captivates and surprises viewers, the plot has also been attracting audiences from various Latin American countries, such as El Salvador, where the telenovela airs on Canal 4.
The story of love that transcends time and generations is split into two parts 150 years apart from each other, showing a couple reuniting after being prevented from living their romantic love story in the 19th century, getting a second chance in the 21st century. Besides the couple, other characters also get a chance to rewrite their stories and fix their mistakes from the past in completely different lives. The well-written script with a strong hook at the end of the first part helps build the romance and side stories, establishing a connection between the different periods of the story.
The combination of the narrative of a timepiece, featuring romance, betrayals, revenge and villainy, and a completely new format, ultimately guaranteed the success of ‘Time After Time’. The first phase begins in the 19th century when Lívia (Alinne Moraes, ‘The Illusionist’) and Felipe (Rafael Cardoso, ‘Empire’) meet and fall in love. However, jealousy and ambition bestow a tragic end to their romance.
In Brazil, ‘Time After Time’ reached more than 173 million viewers. The telenovela has also mobilized online audiences, generating over 654,000 comments on social networks – averaging 5,000 comments per chapter. Globo’s longtime partner and one of the main TV channels in Cape Verde, RTC has already aired other successful Brazilian productions, such as ‘Brazil Avenue’ and ‘Trail of Lies’, and is currently airing the funky piece ‘Boogie Oogie’.
